31
+ *Part of the [Astronomy Datasets](https://huggingface.co/collections/juliensimon/astronomy-datasets-69c24caf2f17e36128946743) collection on Hugging Face.*
32
+
33
+ Gamma-ray sources detected above 10 GeV by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT)
34
+ over 7 years of observation. Currently **1,558** sources with 67 attributes each.
35
+
36
+ ## Dataset description
37
+
38
+ The 3FHL catalog (Ajello et al. 2017) contains sources detected by Fermi LAT in the
39
+ 10 GeV - 2 TeV energy range using 7 years of Pass 8 data. This catalog bridges the gap
40
+ between the GeV regime covered by the standard Fermi catalogs and the TeV regime
41
+ covered by ground-based Cherenkov telescopes (H.E.S.S., MAGIC, VERITAS).
42
+
43
+ Sources include blazars, pulsar wind nebulae, supernova remnants, and unidentified
44
+ gamma-ray emitters. The catalog is essential for planning observations with current
45
+ and future TeV observatories like CTA.
46
+
47
+ ## Quick stats
48
+
49
+ - **1,558** gamma-ray sources above 10 GeV
50
+
51
+ ## Usage
52
+
53
+ ```python
54
+ from datasets import load_dataset
55
+
56
+ ds = load_dataset("juliensimon/fermi-3fhl-hard-gamma-ray", split="train")
57
+ df = ds.to_pandas()
58
+
59
+ # Highest significance sources
60
+ print(df.head(10)[["name", "ra", "dec"]])
61
+
62
+ # Sky map
63
+ import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
64
+ plt.figure(figsize=(12, 6))
65
+ plt.scatter(df["ra"], df["dec"], s=2, alpha=0.5)
66
+ plt.xlabel("RA (deg)")
67
+ plt.ylabel("Dec (deg)")
68
+ plt.title("Fermi 3FHL Sources (>10 GeV)")
69
+ plt.gca().invert_xaxis()
70
+ ```
71
+
72
